These are interesting times for Toronto FC. 

A 2-1 loss to Atlanta United last weekend snapped a seven-game unbeaten run by Toronto (3-3-4), who is also dealing with a rash of injuries at the moment. Despite being winless in four games and minus several key players, coach Robin Fraser remains hopeful, and likes what he's seen from his team in recent outings. 

"I think we've been having positive results, obviously not in the last game. As long as we're moving along [and] picking up points, I feel like we are continuing to move forward. We've had a lot of injuries, and we're working through a lot of injuries, but having said that, we've still been extremely competitive. But certainly, we want to get more wins," coach Robin Fraser said this week.
